At first I thought it would be a ridiculous series, seeing as 5D's was supposed to be the last series.

I gave the show a shot and while it's not on the level that 5D's had, it has it's own fair share of coolness.

The fact that the character Yuma incorporates features from previous duelists is another cool thing. A spirit of another person acting as a dueling teacher (Yu-Gi-Oh - Yugi), A kid who loves to duel (Yu-Gi-Oh GX - Jaden) and how can you miss that hairstyle (Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's).

All in all though, it's so far turned out to be an enjoyable experience.

This franchise needs to be cancelled and the person(s) responsible for creating it needs to be burned alive over a fire fueled by every card in existence. Yugioh is shit, hardest game on earth to learn because every time you get a decent combination/deck some little bitch(es) fucking piss all over themselves, cry and call it op bs and get the card(s) banned from tournaments or removed from the game completely. The series are even worse, especially after they've been americanized with american names.

"I beat your blue eyes white dragon with the power of friendship!!!" "Heart of the cards!" "Friends!!!" "Exodia!" "Grandpa!" "Millennium Puzzle!" "let's play a card game and bet souls while we use holograms that are dangerous----FRIENDSHIP!" "Hey guys, you didn't notice that when I scream 'yu-gi-oh' I got taller, my eyes changed shapes, I got a foot taller and my voice got deeper?!" "We've recovered my memories, it turns out I'm evil! dun dun dun"

Fuck this show right up its kids and dumb-as-hell-players loving ass.

Now the show has little toddlers playing the game while wearing scouters, wow.

Hardest game to learn? Please. Have you played the game? It's easy a hell, and "Dumb-as-hell-players"? If you can't even learn the game you must be pretty fucking ******ed if the people who know how to play the game are dumb. I think someone needs to grow up and take a chill pill. It's a cartoon, and they're giving a decent message out to children to always have your friends with you and never give up.

Anyway, I just started watching, up to episode 6. It's...Ok.
I'm liking Yuma more than Jaden right now, because although Yuma is pulling wins out his ass (Though I did hear Shark or someone perfects him in a few more episodes), at least it's not for some random, oddly specific card combo.

Well to be fair, Yugioh is easily the most complex game that I've played, and it doesn't help that it's also one of the least supported in terms of gameplay rules & whatnot.

... you're right though, as that Metal Chaos dude definitely needs to take a chill pill & simply not watch the anime if he doesn't like it haha.

Zexal is okay. Definitely not 5D's tier though. I hate how Yuma keeps making ******ed mistakes in duels. I could probably duel circles around him and I haven't actually played myself for years.

I think that's one quality I like about Yuma that makes him likeable. He's not a know it all duelist right off the bat like previous main characters.

I think we have all been in Yuma's shoes when we first started playing the game and made our own little mistakes but we got better over time, which the same can be said about Yuma with the help of Astral, who actually educates his partner about dueling unlike Yugi and Atem, where one did the dueling and the other sat in the back.

I'm a big fan of the original Yu-Gi-Oh cartoon, as over-dramatic and silly as it could be sometimes, and have caught a few episodes of ZeXal since the dub premiered. I like that ZeXal seems to be borrowing a lot from the basic premise of the original series, but changing it up a little and not just being a virtual remake. I actually like it a lot better than 5Ds, although I could never get past the weird "card games on motorcycles" aspect of that one.

Christ, if you're this wound up about a cartoon series you don't have to watch, and a children's card game no one is forcing you to play, I'd hate to see your reaction to something that has an actual negative impact on your life.
